Q

Pharyngoplasty Augmentation

A

think boobjob

-take some material (saline/silicon wrapped in dacron ike a pillow), suture it to the posterior pharyngeal wall which makes the posterior wall closer to the velum. good for platybasia.

Q

Obligatory Errors

A

physically unable to make the sound; consistent with errors; surgical fix only.

  • correct place but not voice or manner
  • nasal air emission (NAE)
  • hypernasality (voice error)
  • air escaping in odd places because of dentition

Q

Compensatory Errors

A

most common; trying to make themselves intelligible; mostly substitutions; mostly place rather than manner changes.

  • incorrect place, voice or manner
  • nasal & pharyngeal fricative
  • glottal stopping

Q

Rule of 10’s for Lip Repair

A

baby needs to be 10lbs, have a minimum of 10 grams of hemoglobin (O2) in the blood for anesthesia, and 10 weeks of age.

otherwise surgery have the potential to suffocate the child.

Q

Straight Line Lip Repair

A

cut and sew the edges together. tight repair and tension of the epidermis can stop jaw from growing forward. can cause notching of upper lip.

Q

Triangular Flap Repair (Tennison-Randall)

A

triangle shaped tissue block is removed from the lip. lengthens lip; nice vermillion repair. bilateral and unilateral.

if you cut tissue off the lip your repair potentially needs to be too tight to get it to close.

Q

Millard Rotation-advancement technique

A

cut triangle at the top, release it, pull it down, fit into lower notch on either side. lengthens lip and sews together without cutting out any tissue. bilateral and unilateral.

21
Q

Palate repairs are…

A

soft tissue repairs. the only bone used is for the alveolar ridge.

22
Q

Types of One-Stage Palate Repairs

A
  • free-flap
  • Furlow Z-Plasty for the soft palate
  • Von Langenbeck
  • V-Y Retroposition procedure (Wardill Pushback)
  • Vomer Flap
23
Q

Free Flap Repair

A

take a flap of skin from somewhere else and put it in the palate (e.g., crook of the elbow or back of knee)

24
Q

Furlow Z-Plasty for the soft palate

A

superior epithelium is raised in a couple of flaps as well as the inferior. flaps are sewn in the shapeof a Z in opposite directions.

Lengthens the soft palate.

25
Q

Von Langenbeck

A

hard and soft palate, not including alveolus

cuts flaps off of the palatal shelves and sews everything together at midline. gaps left fill in. when surgeon lifts flap, need to be careful not to denude the bone.

26
Q

V-Y Retroposition Procedure (Wardill Pushnack)

A

tissue is not cut off. slices are made and tissue is lifted off the bone. hard and soft palate.

27
Q

Vomer Flap

A

taking tissue off palatal shelves and off the septum

28
Q

Two-Stage Palate Repair

A

do not support!

  • done around 12 and then 24 months
  • fistulae tend to develop
29
Q

Fistulae

A

an opening that comes up before the surgical site has healed; almost impossible to repair.

-functional if it has an effect on speech, eating or drinking.

30
Q

Orthognathic Surgery

A

bone graft to the alveolus.

done when there’s a cleft in the alveolus, timing is controversial. generally, attempts are made to close fistulae at this time.

31
Q

Maxillary Osteotomy

A

surgical repairs probably disrupt blood supply, nerve supply and growth.

-Le Fort Procedures which potentially pull velum causing VPI

32
Q

Le Fort I & II both start by…

A

peeling skin away from bone without cutting. drill holes in the maxilla and then cut by connecting the dots. this moves the maxilla forward. prevents dental occlusion. dog bones (titanium) go across gap and are screwed in. t

aesthetics and occurs when facial growth is finished in teenagers.

33
Q

Le Fort I

A

moving the dental arch. cuts maxilla at dental arch. orofacial maxillary surgeon. no zygomatic is cut. muscles change.

34
Q

Le Fort II

A

pulls off more skin (cut cartilage on nose). pulls more maxilla forward up to beidge of nose. more facial skeleton and orbit of the eye. orofacial maxillary surgeon. no zygomatic is cut.

35
Q

Le Fort III

A

cranial surgeon because brain is exposed. cut is made around hairline, skin peeled down to lay over chin. orbits of the eye and part of frontal and nasal bone is pulled forward. held by dog bones or potentially bone grafts. zygomatic arch IS cut.

36
Q

maxillary advancement can create….

A

velopharyngeal dysfunction

37
Q

Mandibular Osteomy

A

shortening of the mandible. cut jagged line in the mandible, then either take out chunk and slide pieces together to shorten mandible or do distraction osteogenesis (for Pierre Robin).

38
Q

Deciduous Teeth

A

Baby Teeth
A-J are on the maxille R to L
K-T are on the mandible L to R
no bicuspids or 2nd and 3rd molars

39
Q

Permanent Teeth

A

adult teeth
1-16 on the maxilla R to L
17 is under 16, 17-32 on mandible L to R

wisdom teeth = 3rd molars

40
Q

SLP evaluation of speech and language before physical management

A

Language assessment
FNAE/Hypernasality
developmental errors and Phonological processes
Endoscopic evaluation
work with family and inform them (praise place even if manner is incorrect)

41
Q

Role of the SLP after physical management

A

training the patient to make the best of the appliance or pharyngoplasty, reduce NAE/hypernasality, eliminate articulation errors, assume the surgery or obturator was a good fit.

42
Q

Speech Therapy Goals

A

1) Decrease VP patency
2) Decrease NAE/increase oral pressure - octopus, cul-de-sac technique
3) Decrease Hypernasality
4) Decrease Compensatory Errors

43
Q

The velum is ________, lacking _____________ which tell the velum it’s position in space

A

asensory

proprioceptors

44
Q

Non-speech activities and the closure they produce _______ carry over into speech activities because they’re ______________ _________.

A

don’t

neurologically different
